My Filipino Rose

The postman dropped a letter in my door The address wasn't plain, but I could see It had traveled far across the great Pacific From my Filipino Rose across the sea. The writing from her tremblin' hand was blurred The paper, it was badly stained with tears It read, "They tell me you have wed another After I have longed and waited all these years." [Chorus] "But I'm still prayin', that the trade winds Send you sailin' across the blue In my harbor, I've dreamed you'll anchor Where your lonely Filipino waits for you." I promised her that I'd return some day I told her she'd won my heart and hand I told her a lie, 'cause I was lonely Far from home, a stranger in that foreign land. She wrote, "I've watched the driftwood float on by I've watched the sea roll on its weary way I've watched the silver sails out on the ocean Hopin' you might return to me someday." "The chains of love may never set you free But through the years, as mem'ries fonder grow This broken heart will always wait for you, dear." It was signed, "Your lonely Filipino Rose." [Chorus]
